1:12Now PlayingSha'Carri Richardson bailed out the U.S. women out from a near collapse Thursday in the Olympic 4x100 relay, overcoming a German runner in the anchor leg to help the Americans win their heat and move to the gold-medal race.
The U.S. men, who haven't won a medal in this event since 2004, advanced easily despite a small hiccup. In the strangest twist of all, it was Jamaica's men who struggled with the baton and will be sitting on the sideline for Friday's final.
In the women's race, Richardson was about three steps behind after receiving the baton from Gabby Thomas, who earlier nearly misconnected on her exchange with Twanisha Terry.
That put Richardson in a hole against Rebekka Haase, but the 100-meter silver medal winner was looking back at Haase by the finish. The U.S. won in 41.94 seconds, .19 ahead of the Germans.
